Netgear Genie 2.4.26 Huge Window Size Windows 10

Seems like I've found a workaround (not a proper solution). I hope this helps the devs at Netgear/Genie.

Out of my three computers, this problem never affected the ones that had 1920X1080 resolution -- I had this problem only with the desktop that had a 2560X1080 monitor (All my PCs are Windows 10). So that gave me the initial clue.

Here's my workaround:

1. Exited Netgear Genie (by rightclicking the tray icon and choosing exit)

2. Went to my "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Appdata\Local\NETGEARGenie\" folder

2. Opened the config.ini file in this folder with Notepad

3. Changed the third line so that it reads:

                           screen_resolution=1920*1080

4. Saved and closed the file.

5. Right-clicked the config.ini file, opened the properties and made it read-only

6. Opened Genie and it's looking normal!

I'm calling it workaround because of Step #5. I've found that if I don't make it read-only that the resolution changed back to 2560*1080 (which actually IS the resolution of my monitor) and the huge windows problem returned.

As usual, please do this at your responsbility and I am not liable if anything gets broken.

The main problem is I guess the app wasn't designed properly to work in Ultrawide (21:9) or high resolutions -- I hope this gets corrected soon.

Hope this helps.
